Bill Maher Calls Out Environmentalist Celebs, Politicians for Flying Private Jets, Admits He Does, Too: ‘I Can’t Take Being A Hypocrite’

Bill Maher, host of HBO’s “Real Time,” Left-wing environmentalists were criticized for their use of private jets, but they did not address their hypocrisy.

Maher, who advocated for protecting the environment, said that he also flew private aircraft during the segment.

“My name is Bill, and I fly private,” Maher said. “And so does every other person who calls themselves an ‘environmentalist’ who can!”

Maher presented celebrities and politicians using private jets, such as Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D–MA), Bernie Sanders (I–VT) and Leonardo DiCaprio.

“All the environmentalists of Hollywood and Washington do it. Their position on climate change is, ‘We must do more to stop pouring carbon into the air, except for me when I want to go somewhere, and then I take a private jet,’” Maher said. “It turns out there is one thing in this world that is completely impossible to resist, and this is it. It’s like heroin. If you do it once, you’ll never stop.”

Maher also attacked John Kerry, Biden climate czar for using a personal jet and said that it would be the same if the Secretary of Homeland Security did the same. “smuggled drugs in his butt.”

“People take jets to environmental conferences. If you could run TED Talks on hypocrisy, you wouldn’t need coal,” He stated. “But, sorry, not sorry. I tried to do my part to the environment. I never had kids, the one thing worse for the planet than private jets.”

Maher declared that electric cars can be made more environmentally-friendly. “sucked” And most people do not realize this. “full of s***” When it comes down to living in a way which is good for the environment.

“And I’m done being full of shit,” He added. “I can take being a bad environmentalist because almost all of us are, but I can’t take being a hypocrite.”

“So yes, it’s fun to laugh at powerful people,” He concluded. “That’s how I can afford to fly private, but we need to get serious. Really. More nuclear, moving way more money into research and development, I don’t know, but something serious because the real technological problem is the way people are wired. I know it’s easier just to blame Taylor Swift’s plane, but honestly, do you want to be stuck on Southwest with a pissed-off Taylor Swift?”

Insanity can be defined as repeating the same thing over and again. Expecting to be insane is an example of insanity.
